Headlight Gasket

[Harold R.]

Page 73 of the 56/57 6th addition judging manual says there is a gasket between the headlight and the headlight bezel. Section 12 sheet 3 of the assembly manual only shows a gasket behind the headlight bucket assembly. Is the judging manual correct? if yes is it the same gasket that is shown in the assembly manual relocated or is there a different gasket?

Harold -

When I restored my 57's in the mid-90's, I distinctly remember spending hours sitting at the kitchen table with those "L"-section rubber gaskets, contact cement, and fine wire to get them properly positioned so they wouldn't come off. The original assembly manual I had at the time had a sectional view of the bezel showing the gasket position and installation.

Thanks John, now I have something to look forward to. Gluing gaskets.
